*shrug* i’m pretty easy tbh a good fic, art, or meta is all it rly takes to get me into a ship. i don’t recall the actual catalyst?? but xD
2. What are your favorite things about the ship?
typically i think of gibotto as a fluff ship BUT, i actually think it has a lot of potential character progression wise?
like. i rly enjoyed gibson learning to take otto more seriously in the early seasons (esp in ape new world, but i also enjoyed the little humor aside in flytor lol) & i wish that had kind of… continued? i guess? like. gibson realizing otto is an intellectual equal & the two of them bonding or even collaborating? like, he had some great genius/sciency bonding with both suupa & captain proteus, & it would have been nice to see that with otto too lol
& then conversely i think gibson recognizing otto’s intelligence could have opened up like… him taking himself less seriously & loosening up more?
i dunno. basically i like the idea of them helping each other grow as people monkeys? otto showing his intelligence/more serious aide a little more often and gibson letting himself relax/be silly.
3. Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship?
uh, i don’t think so?? nothing is coming to mind, anyway :P

Ohhh some complementary color monkeys to start with! Nice, nice.
I think this ship is pretty underrated tbh. It has more of a casual vibe than the other possible monkey ships- like, I can totally see them having a relationship that's not totally platonic without it being a big deal. A "maybe they're bros who kiss, maybe they're dating" sort of thing. They don't really care about formalities or labels so long as the other is comfortable.
Also, I feel like with this ship we'd have an opportunity to explore both of their characters more. Sparx is a highly emotional character, and he doesn't always express those emotions in a good manner; meanwhile Otto, for all his goofiness and silliness, is actually pretty emotionally intelligent and mature. Sparx is also very much a romantic, and we've seen in the show a few times that he's particularly receptive to help from a love interest (Nova), so it'd be interesting to see how Otto handles Sparx's temper and frustration.
In addition, Sparx's romantic tendencies also make him very adoring, so I think he'd build Otto up a lot- makes me imagine a version of the show where they're dating from the start, and Sparx very pointedly praises Otto everytime Gibson puts his inventions down (which would have the added benefit of giving more dimension to Gibson and Sparx's rivalry, so that's pretty cool). Sparx is definitely the type who would sit and listen to Otto ramble about his inventions even though he has no idea what he's talking about, and I imagine Otto would make him little trinkets and knick-knacks because he knows Sparx would appreciate them.
'This is Real, This is Me', 'Butler Combo Comic', “it is both a blessing and a curse to feel everything so very deeply”!!!
As usual, you always pick the hard ones! (joking)
12. this is real, this is me
So, as you miiiiggghhhttt be able to glean from the title, this is a Camp Rock / music camp AU, lol. Human AU, all the hyperforce members are 15-16 and Chiro is 13. It started off as a reverse crush Spova-centric story and kind of kept the Spova elements while it spun off into stupid music camp shenanigans. My favorite part of this wip is the part where Nova calls Sparx a “boy-band reject.” I started this in 2019 and never picked it up again, and I’m probably not going to finish it, but here it is *throws it into the ether.*
Nova was a seasoned Camp Rock camper. This was her fourth year and this year was the year she was going to get serious.
She hadn't planned on gaining a crush on the stupid red-haired dweeb who had the unfortunate luck to possess eyes like caramel and a voice like honey.
&
"Otto, what did you do to my guitar?" Nova asked, running her lucky pick over the strings. "It sounds different."
"Oh, I fixed the amp finally!" Otto said cheerfully. "Now everyone in camp is gonna hear us for sure. There's no way we're gonna lose!"
Nova looked over at Gibson with bewilderment in her eyes.
"Don't look at me," Gibson said, barely looking up from his book. "You were off stalking the new kid again."
"I wasn't stalking," Nova muttered to herself, as she put her guitar strap over her shoulder. "You guys ready to practice or what? We've got a house to bring down!"
4. Butler combo comic
So @ladytauria and I were talking about a SRMTHFG-Batman/Batkids AU, and I scribbled down a little bit of a comic about Alfred and Antauri talking about their similar experiences with caring for a hero team.
6. It is both a blessing and a curse to feel everything so very deeply
I actually don’t have any gifs to show for this yet, but I saw this quote and I felt that it was very Antauri. Antauri is a quiet mentor, but he has been shown to have a lot of strong feelings, which some might consider either a strength or a weakness...
'Monkey again' and 'together, we'll walk in the light'!
thank you for asking <3
i’m especially fond of “walk in the light” so i’m very glad you asked about it xD
[ ask about a wip & i’ll share a bit about it! ]
monkey again
i had forgotten i had this wip until i was porting them over to notion xD
basically—chiro gets knocked into monkey form again. no one knows why, so antauri suggests a trip to a power primate mystic / monk to discover why. according to my vague little summary, it’s triggered by “extreme emotion.”
this may have been given to me as a prompt, but i didn’t note down by who, so it also may not have been.
i have a little written for it, so have a snippet:
—
“And you’re sure this guy will be able to help?” Sprx demanded, hands flying over the flight controls with practiced efficiency. “’Cause if this turns out like the last time we turned to the Veran’s for help--”
“Jiran isn’t a Veran,” Antauri said. He didn’t even glance in Sprx’s direction; remaining focused on the screen before him.
“Then what is he?” Gibson asked, arching an eye-ridge. In the background, Otto’s laughter mingled with Jinmay’s—and the vocalizations of a monkey.
“A dedicated student of the Power Primate,” Antauri said. He was quiet for a moment, but perhaps sensing that his explanations wouldn’t satisfy his teammates, he then continued. “He studied with Mandarin and I during our time with the Verans. However, he did not agree with many of their practices, and left before he could be officially inducted into the order. As far as I know, he’s lived a nomadic lifestyle since.”
“And you’re sure he’s still around?” Sprx asked.
“Yes. I’m sure,” Antauri said. “I reached out to him before we left Shuggazoom, to set up the meeting point.”
Before Antauri could say anything else, he felt something tug at his tail. He looked down, and found a black-furred monkey examining the shiny tip of it with an almost contemplative expression. Antauri smiled, ever so slightly. “Hello, Chiro,” he said warmly.
Jinmay jogged over, looking a bit sheepish. “Sorry, Antauri,” she said. “It’s hard to keep him focused on anything.”
“That’s alright,” he said.
—
together we’ll walk into the light
a redemption arc for original mandarin & valina. i’m not sure what my full plan for the AU is, except that they wind up meeting & finding their way post-SK together.
i’ve shared a snippet of it before, though i do have a li’l more than that written.
💝 who spends more time (possibly overthinking) what presents to get the other?
Spova - SPRX. He overthinks, puts it off, forgets, and grabs something with his gut the last minute that turns out to be fine.
Cygate - Jro once mentioned that as far as gifts go, Tailgate is likely to buy like 400 things while Cyclonus is more likely to give an experience. I’d argue that Cyclonus is also the kind of person who wouldn’t want to overplan said experience and let their emotions lead them, so definitely Tailgate.

I'm not sure how specific you wanted prompts to be, so "cooking" or "Otto and Gibson trying to recreate Wonderfun Meat World flavors"!
Either flavor (hah, see what I did there.) of prompts are good for me. One word, more specific prompts, i’m good.
Gibson heard the sound of pans clashing coming from the kitchen. Loud clattering that sounded like pans had fallen. He was unsure of who was cooking at this moment in time but Gibson decided to check on that racket.
Walking into the kitchen Gibson found Otto in the midst of all the clamor. He was currently was trying to re stack a pile of pans that clearly been the source of the sounds. The stack was far too tall though as it towered over Otto. Gibson had not been aware they had owned that many pans.
The stack was starting to teeter just a bit and Gibson silently moved in to get it balanced so it would not all go crashing down on top of Otto.
"Careful there Otto. Your pan stack was a bit unstable." Gibson said.
Otto peered up at Gibson, perking up at the sight of him.
"Oh hey Gibson! Want to see what i'm making?" Otto asked, totally ignoring the fact he nearly had a pile of pans fall on him.
"Yes of course. Let's just change the height of this pan pile a bit first." Gibson said.
Once the pan pile was dealt with Gibson joined Otto at the kitchen counter. Sitting on a pan that was cooling was a almost familiar looking food.
"Is that Wonderful Meat World food?" Gibson asked, concerned.
"Nope. Otto food. Just made to look and taste like the food from Wonderful Meat World.." Otto said.
Gibson couldn't help but shudder at the memory of the incident with said so called fast food place.
"Why in the world would you want to recreate that?" Gibson asked.
"Oh, not the exact ingredients of course. Mainly I want to get the look and something like the flavor." Otto said.
Gibson still did not quite get the appeal considering that whole incident and just how disgusting it really had been. Despite that, Gibson decided to try to block out the incident for now.
"I take it those were test pieces?" Gibson asked, pointing at a few other pans with misshapen looking meat cones.
Otto rubbed the back of his head.
"Yeah, those are mainly me trying to get the shape down right. I've finally figured out the way to shape it and get it to keep it's shape. Now it's about taste." Otto said.
"Mmm, maybe I can help." Gibson said.
"You can cook? I've never seen you cook." Otto said.
Gibson waved off that uncertainty.
"Cooking involves a form of chemistry. I should be able to replicate the necessary elements of such a meal easily enough." Gibson said.
The blue and green monkey set to their task. Otto showed Gibson how he shaped the meat and Gibson had some suggestions on heat settings. Between the both of them they tried different spices .
Preferred cooking time later the meat cone was ready to come out. Unfortunately it didn't taste as good as planned. Both Otto and Gibson spat out the food when trying it.
"Oh yuck!" Otto said.
Gibson had to agree. He did have the grace to spit his food into the trash can near by instead of on the floor.
"It seems like we might have missed the mark." Gibson said.
"This is actually better then the last meat cone at least." Otto said.
Gibson thought about it for a moment. He was not ready to admit that he was at a bit of a loss. He wanted this to succeed for Otto's sake.
There had to be something he could do.
"There are still a few things we can try." Gibson said finally. "If we work together.."
Half a hour later Gibson and Otto had rigged something up together that seemed like it would get them somewhere in their quest to make successful meat treats. It really did seem to be working given the delicious smell of cooking meat that was beginning to fill the room.
As they both stood near the device to keep an eye on the cooking Otto couldn't help but look up at Gibson.
The way Gibson was so intent on getting the project to work clearly because Otto cared so much about it brought a feeling of warmth to Otto.
Silently he took one of Gibson's hands and his tail wrapped around Gibson's.
"Thanks Gibson. For trying so hard on this. I appreciate it." Otto said.
Gibson smiled and leaned his forehead against Otto's.
"Well, anything for you after all." he said.
In that moment the two monkeys were very much content and wrapped up in each other. So neither monkey was paying attention to the meat that was being cooked. If they had they would had seen that something was going greatly wrong with it. The meat was beginning to balloon and shake.
The delicious smell in the room turned to the smell of something burning very quickly. It took Gibson and Otto out of their moment. Too late. Gibson and Otto only had time to duck behind a table for some form of cover
In a massive boom the meat exploded.
Moments later the sound of the others storming in was heard. They quickly surveyed the situation. A room splattered with charred meat and two robot monkeys hidden under the table.
"What happened in here?" Sprx cried.
"Did the oven throw up?" Nova asked.
"No." Gibson said, peering out from beneath the table. "More like perhaps the invention we put together was not the best thing to use for cooking."
"I'll say." Chiro said, moving aside to avoid a blob of meat that dripped down from the kitchen.
Otto and Gibson came out from underneath the table and stepped up to a large pile of the charred meat, looking just a bit forlorn over what their tinkering with cooking had wrought.
"We should not taste this." Gibson said.
"I would second that." Antauri said.
Otto sighed.
"Yeah, I give up on this. Maybe it's better that we can not pull this off." Otto said.
His expression did turned more upbeat a moment later.
"But hey. at least it was fun trying. Want to try cooking something else sometime, Gibson?" Otto asked.
Gibson smiled.
"Perhaps something more on the sweet side next time. I've had enough of meat for the moment." Gibson said.
